Adams sends Silver Stars past Mercury

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Danielle Adams totaled 12 of her 19 points in
the second half, as San Antonio survived its first test without Becky Hammon,
topping Phoenix by an 88-80 count on Wednesday.

Hammon was diagnosed with a season-ending ACL tear on Monday.

DeLisha Milton-Jones added 16 points, while Shenise Johnson, Jayne Appel and
Danielle Robinson each had 13 for the Silver Stars, who snapped a three-game
losing streak.

Candice Dupree scored 22 points and Diane Taurasi had 20 before fouling out
late in regulation for the Mercury, who have lost two straight after winning
five in a row.

Brittney Griner was out of action for the hosts, thanks to a sprained left
knee.
